  • Critical thinking about cyberbullying

Activity


During today's and next week's class we will be responding to wiki posts created by high school students at a school in Ilinois. These students have been working hard to learn more about cyberbullying so that they can teach middle school students about it, too. Our job will be to read their posts and respond with our thoughts and comments. Also, most of the students have created activities that go with their posts - word searches, crossword puzzles, etc, so you can print those out and complete them as well!

Today, please complete the following:

First....
  • Partnering with the person sitting next to you, watch the Brainpop Video on Cyberbullying. Remember the login: stdom, bulldog.
  • Take the review quiz together (the second choice on the Quiz screen) - just do the one on the screen, you don't need to print it out
